Found it with the caption "Grandmother of three Ann McDonald, aged 60, lost her hair to alopecia and got fed up with wearing wigs and hats, so she got a £720 tattoo. She says she is very happy with it (jolly good!)"

I've got four, and plan on getting at least one or two more at some point. All of mine either represent things that are important to me or some sort of life lesson I want to remember.

- I have a small scorpion on my left bicep with "To Thine Own Self" over the top of it. It represents the story of the scorpion and the frog, if anyone's familiar with it, and it's a reminder to be true to my own nature, even if it means facing tough consequences...

- I have the Red Cross logo just underneath that one, with my blood type in the center of it and a drop of blood underneath the crossbar on either side, one for each of the two gallons of blood I've donated so far. Hopefully additional blood drops to follow...

- I have the Rocky Horror Picture Show lips and movie title on my right shoulderblade. I was in a cast for eight years, and performed at a number of national conventions. I've seen over 350 shows, seen it in twelve states and performed in ten, and seen six productions of the stage play (split between three states). I've had a hell of a lot of fun, some great experiences, and met some awesome people through Rocky Horror, and will freely admit that Rocky has saved my life on several occasions.

- I have the hands, heart and crown of the Irish Claddagh ring done in green and black ink with the word "Mathair" (Irish Gaelic for "mother") over it on my left shoulderblade. Under it are my mother's date of birth and date of death. I got it on the first anniversary of her death - it's sort of a peace offering, really. We didn't get along, and it's a reminder to me that whatever crap went on between us died with her and it's over, so I should move on and let it go. It's also a general reminder not to live in the past.

If I ever ended up completely bald, I'd probably get a tat on my head... Hell, maybe I'll get my avatar done on the side of my head.

(Y'know, if I ever end up with some fatal disease and only have like two weeks to live, I think I'm going to get the skull in my avatar tattooed over my entire head and face so I look just like it, lol)

I have quite a few. My wrist to my shoulder of my right arm is covered in tattoos. Similarly, my ankle to my knee of my left leg is covered in tattoos. When I manage to turn my burgeoning academic career into something that makes decent money I am sure I will get more.

Found it with the caption "Grandmother of three Ann McDonald, aged 60, lost her hair to alopecia and got fed up with wearing wigs and hats, so she got a £720 tattoo. She says she is very happy with it (jolly good!)"

I hope she was immediately arrested upon leaving the parlor. As a general rule, any tats neck level and above mean a hardened gang member. I bet she's killed quite a few people in her day and odds are she's a sociopath.

Obviously. I mean, you can see the "I'm going to kill you look" she has in those pictures. I'm willing to be the tattoo artist, the cameraman, and the reporter are all dead now.

*Two points about this gag. Firstly, every writer of anything makes typos and I’m no different. It’s “there but for the grace of God go I” rather than schadenfreude here. The second is something called Muphry’s Law (no, it is Muphry’s, not Murphy’s) which states that any piece correcting or laughing at a typo, spelling or grammatical mistake will contain at least one worse than the original being complained of.

I've had the general "I want a tattoo" feeling for a long time, but never been able to settle on just one thing. Well, sorta... I know that if I live long enough I'll probably get "do not resuscitate" tattooed on my chest in a neat easy to read font.

Aside from that, though, I think I want the dates (in binary) tattooed on the inside of my left forearm for when I get married and when we get kids.

Dude... those would be very cool tattoos.

I thought you disliked children?I like my kids... sometimes...

Ah yes, that's right. The Cap'n has mentioned more than once that he doesn't particularly like children.

But I swear I heard (read) EE say something very similar, some time ago.

Ah well...Thanks to your processors klirshon!

I may have to steal that DNR one if I live long enough. Hell of an idea, sir. As for binary ... well, it reminds me of subnetting and that sorta makes my brain hurt still from recalling the boredom.

Those tattoos are awesome! I thought about getting a head tattoo when I shaved my head, but ultimately decided against it. Though, if I ever lose my hair, I will totally do it.

You guys have seen my tattoos. I'm waiting for my most recent one to heal to get more work on it. I may be able to squeeze it in before leaving to visit family (because it's so awesome to show up with a new tattoo - found that out on Thanksgiving! ).

I also have an idea for my inner forearm, but I don't think I'll be getting that one until I get the dragon finished. I need to talk to my artist to make sure he leaves room for it with the clouds and all.

My husband joked that I'm going to have a full-body tattoo by the time he comes home.

I do want a phoenix, though I am not sold exactly on what kind or where. I'm leaning toward a chinese phoenix (the ones that look more like peacocks) on my left arm, because it balances out the dragon (male/female energy). But, then again, I also want like a huge western phoenix on my back. But I might find a better idea for my back, so I'm not 100%. And I can't get anything on my left arm till my littlest one is older, because that's my "carry baby" arm and that would hurt.

But yeah, lots of plans. I'm not going to put them off for so long like I did, though. Once I got the tattoo I wanted, I was like "Why didn't I do this years ago?"

I can entertain two conflicting feelings at the same time. And I know I've been talking for a few years now about vague plans for children in the future once me and the SO are more solid on our future.

@ZB: I can't take credit for the DNR tattoo. I first saw it on the internet a few years ago and if you do a google image search for "do not resuscitate tattoo" you'll see lots of people have gotten 'em.

And what's wrong with binary? Say we get married on like 5th of May, 2015 or something. That would be 0101.0101.1111

And if I want, I can do it as something other then 0s and 1s. Could be as simple as filled circle vs outline circle or something else. You could get real creative with it. Though I'm pretty sure that for the year I'd have to have at least 5 bits so I can have dates after 2015.

@KGM: Those sound neat. And if you do become a tattooed lady, I expect pictures. Though I'm not sure the last time I saw a tattooed lady that wasn't Asian. So you can be a ground-breaker or something.

I see. Oh well, it's still a good idea to steal.

Nothing wrong with binary 'cept it reminds me of subnetting ... which is booooring.

My sister in law is all tatted up and she's not Asian. I also have another friend who's a girl, tatted up and not Asian. Maybe I just know strange people. They both certainly fit the bill.

A friend has her son's birthday as a barcode on the back of her neck. It scans on a reader.

Different life. I went from hard science school to working on a military base. The expectations of my social and work groups for the last decade have been white collar work so no tattoos that show in business casual.

You've told us stories about you wife's side of the family and how classy they are. I don't think your sister in is strange. I'd say she is probably typial of the area she is from.

Besides, I'm not into portrait tattoos anyway. Even the best quality ones just creep me right the out.

Agreed.

Oh sure, I've seen some that were good, but never wholly accurate.

Eh, I've seen one portrait tat that was awsome (a woman I know got a pic of her kids when they were young), but the guy that did the tat also hapened to have a "day job" as one of those guys in the mall who turns photographs into airbrushed portraits on canvas and t-shirts, and he was just incredibly talented as an artist in any medium...
